As a bit of fun, I thought of posting some pictures for you all to guess the location before I get round to putting the captions on:

First off, 58040

60085

Note, they are all from the last century with the exception of 66723.

The 58 I recon is near Sudbury Jn near Wembley
Miles away! :shock: Can't recollect ever seeing an MGR train round there. Coal trains were far from unusual at the location pictured, but 58s were not terribly common.

and the 86s are around Dagenham.
Correct, but is has changed rather a lot since the photo was taken (from the road crossing by Dagenham Dock station).

Could that first one be somewhere around Immingham?
You've got it, it is coming out of the coal terminal at Immingham Docks. I can't remember / forgot to make a note of the exact working but there was a short-term flow worked by Mainline Freight at the time from there which brought 58s to South Humberside, which made a bit of a change from the class 37s, 56s and 60s that Loadhaul used.

EDIT:
Just remembered this picture which I have down as an Immingham to West Burton train
